Hi! Can anyone tell me what is a Slip Stitch? And how do you do it? I have a simple tote bag pattern, where I am supposed to slip stitch the opening in the bottom of the bag liner (where I pulled it right side out, back through)... Thank you! |

Work from right to left. Fasten thread and bring needle and thread out through one folded edge. For the first and each succeeding stitch, slip needle through fold of opposite edge for about 1/4 inch; bring needle out and draw the thread through. Continue to slip the needle and thread through the opposing folded edges.

By hand. It is quite simple to do.

Thank you Mary but I can not take credit. I had saved the information some time ago and just pulled it up. Couldn't remember where I had gotten it until jwright posted the link. Thank you jwright!
